Navy beats Army for 14th Straight Time
Houston defeated Navy 52-31.
Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo just might go out the same way.
That’s not a surprise to the Midshipmen.
“We’re an institution, and we’re certainly a football program, that’s steeped in team and not about ‘me.’ All of a sudden, it’s become about that”, Navy athletic director Chet Gladchuk said before the game.
Both teams moved the ball fairly easily in the first half, but the second half was a different story. He stayed on after graduation, eventually being promoted to a full-time assistant coaching position at before stints at Navy and UNLV. Should he leave, expect Navy to promote offensive coordinator Ivin Jasper to head coach.
The Navy Midshipman are going for their 14th straight win against The Army Black Knights.
This is a football game not to be missed.
Now, the uncertainty begins as to whether Niumatalolo will take the job at BYU, where his son Va’a is a sophomore linebacker. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus stealing from Rob Lowe in his least convincing performance since “Battleship”, and three three-star admirals in a mostly silent “road trip” video that – here’s the amusing part – has the officers packing oversized items in a small auto.
For Army, it felt much like 2012. The Black Knights (2-10) outgained Navy, 345-312, but were shut out in the second half. But I don’t think we’re that far away. “Army might be listening”.
Flying to NY by helicopter immediately after the Army game for the Heisman ceremony would have a great cap to his college football career. He can extend that record in his final college game in the Military Bowl against Pittsburgh in Annapolis, Md., Dec. 28.
Navy’s run of dominance in this series continues to reach new heights.
– Florida vs. Kentucky, 29, 1987-2015.
– Virginia Tech vs. Virginia, 12, 2004-15.
With perfection at stake, Keenan Reynolds ended his Navy career with a clean sweep against Army. Tilman caught the pass in stride and ran 30 yards before diving for the pylon to score the go-ahead, game-winning touchdown. “It is just different for me”. Their campaign will continue with an opportunity to win 11 games in a season for the first time in program history against Pitt.
Reynolds rushed for two touchdowns and threw for another score to lead the No. 21 Midshipmen to their 14th straight victory over the Black Knights, 21-17 on Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field.
Reynolds says he has been humbled by all of the support fans have given him in the last couple of weeks.
Intense rivalry! To play in this game is something very special that you never forget. “It’s bigger than individual awards”. “Every coach, every defensive staff they face will tell you the same”, Army coach Jeff Monken said.
Monken, 0-1 in the series, was an assistant at Navy from 2002-2007.
Third, this soldier’s short spot includes a line that probably needs a home in official service doctrine, discussing the Army’s goal of “winning wars, and looking good while we save babies”. “These guys are not responsible for the last how many years it’s been”.
